I appreciate your apology.

With that in mind, I'll go back and try to actually read what you were saying.

Because what I was going to tell you is that for people with personality structures like mine, at least, (I know I can't speak more globally), I find myself tuning out the rest of the message if I find the first part distressing. And I'm more protective of my therapist than he probably would be of himself if he were reading. Much as I would be of a friend or family member.

So while I realize that there is a popular communication technique that involves shocking people to get their attention, it never works with me. So you might want to keep those individual variations in mind with your clients and learn a number of different approaches to take.

From what I did take in in this reading of your post, though, I'm a bit confused. I have some books authored by the scientists you cite, yet haven't found anything in their books about what you're saying. Perhaps I just don't have the right books, or I'm not reading the right pages, or I'm not interpreting it the same way.

Do you have books and page numbers or URL's from these scientists pertaining to the points you are making so that I can follow along with you in your posts? I think there would be more room for discussion if I more fully understood what you were saying and the scientific theory behind it. And I think I could do that best by reading the same things you are reading.
